Having just seen a previous copy of The Echo we were very interested in Paul Jones’ letter criticising the new concrete path up to the lighthouse from Wategos. We’re sure he’s right –though we haven’t seen the path yet, it certainly doesn’t sound imaginative enough for such a site.
As he says, it is a sublime location – we make the pilgrimage from Tweed a few times a year just to ‘sit and stare’ now we’re in our 70s.
We’ve loved it since we were in our 20s but lately it is not looked after. At least a year ago, probably getting on for two, we saw a pile of vomit in the left-hand corner of the lighthouse porch. A few weeks later it was still there – dried up by now in the sun. Subsequent visits convince us the porch is never cleaned and remnants are still there.
Tourists have commented unfavourably about the lack of cleanliness. For goodness sake, I feel like taking a bucket of water there myself. Please look after it.

For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
